In this paper, we consider low order sensing with laser guide star (LGS) adaptive optics (AO) and high order sensing with natural guide star (NGS) AO. We then turn to the application of near-IR sensing with the W. M. Keck Observatory (WMKO) AO systems for science and as a demonstrator for similar systems on extremely large telescopes (ELTs). These demonstrations are based upon an LGS AO near-IR tip-tilt-focus sensor and our collaboration to implement a near-IR pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS) for a NGS AO L-band coronagraphic imaging survey to identify exoplanet candidates.ELETTRONICOenConference paper10.1117/12.22330352-s2.0-85002428352000387429700035https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9909/1/Near-infrared-wavefront-sensing/10.1117/12.2233035.full2016SPIE.9909E..15WFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAScienze Fisiche Settori ERC (ERC) di riferimento::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_17 Instrumentation – telescopes, detectors and techniques
